WANT TO BE THERE IN PERSON IN SEATTLE?

If you’d like to be one of the lucky 6 participants you’ll need to submit your own video:

1. Record a 60-second video saying why you want to join me in Seattle. (Hint: I’ll be looking for videos that are original…witty…fun…photographers making the transition from stills to video are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED)

Vincent,
You dog you I was so excited ( since I am from seattle) I put my video together based on the creativelive live description before your promo video came out Here is the description on that site. You may want to tweak it a little more to be more reflective of what you said in the video.

1. Record a 60-second video saying why you want to join Vincent in Seattle. (You will see how I interpreted that before the promo video I thought it was more like a demo of some stuff you have done).
2. Post it to YouTube, Vimeo, etc.
3. Tweet the URL for that Video on Twitter and include @creativeLIVE and the hashtag #laforetLIVE

I totally recognized Magic Mountain. So funny, that roller coaster you’re on I can see is built next to around around “Colossus” which, when it first opened up in the 70s was like the biggest roller coaster on the west coast I think. (I remember hearing about it when I was in the 4th grade.) lt’s child’s play compared to what they’re building nowadays!

Unfortunately, will be celebrating my 43rd b-day with my wife in Vegas that weekend. So, will probably purchase the course instead. In any case, looking forward to it! One quick question. I just purchased my first HD capable dSLR. With regards to tripods and mounts, can HDdSLR-specific sticks/mounts also be used for still photography as well as video? And, for basic, entry level HDdSLR shooting, would the Manfrotto 055XDB Tripod (Black) with 501HDV Head Kit at B&H be a good starter kit? Would most likely be shooting with a 24-70mm f/2.8G lens. Thank you in advance for your input!
